Use DesktopServer’s last option to “Import, export or share…”, followed by “Export or deploy…”. Select your website project from the drop down combo box, “From Website”. Ensure that the option is set to “Export to a website archive”.

You you do not need to supply any additional information. Skip filling out any additional fields and just click “next” until a zip file is produced. You may then upload the created zip file via our website at:

Please note that there is a 300MB limit on the upload page. If your .zip archive is larger than 300MB, you may wish to use a third-party service, such as dropbox.com to send us the file. Dropbox requests can be sent to our email (support@serverpress.com). In lieu of dropbox.com or our upload page, you may send us a URL to obtain the file.

Hmm, that is unusual. DesktopServer removes the .git folder prior to creating an export zip or performing a DirectDeploy. However, the initial operation is a “copy”, which may cause undue stress if the .git archive is very large. After the copy operation completes, DesktopServer purges any project folders and files on the copy: .git, .gitignore, _Notes, .svn, etc. However, we will make a note of this (ideally it wouldn’t perform the copy from the start on those given folders).
